Everyone liked their food. Good fish tacos. Inside decor needs some sprucing up. 15$ for chips and salsa a bit of a shocker.

The most incredible outdoor seating, with old school music hits being played at the perfect volume. Food was off the charts delicious (tacos and burritos), and the staff was wonderful. Perfect spot for date night, or dinner with friends.

Our server was incredible, she provided us with a discount on our food before we asked for it because she was attentive to the issue. Our food took more than an hour to reach the table. Several tables around us had been served and had left before we were given our food.

Nice patio. Service was a little rushed and not so personable. Music great, but LOUD at are table. Other diners also commented on volume and we asked one of the waiters to turn it down a bit. They said they would ask management, but definitely no reduction in volume. Other than that, great tasing and filling food!

We’re spoiled because we spend a lot of time in Mexico. The food was good but not quite the caliber we’re used to. The margarita was delicious, the charro’s ok (too hard for my taste) & the tuna tostado was good but the flavour was not good enough for 5 stars. Excellent service but the screaming children detracted from the ambience.

I’ve been here before and loved everything about it, was excited to return. However this time we were really disappointed. The server seemed to have forgotten about us, never asking how we were doing despite us waiting nearly an hour with no food (appetizer or main) in a nearly empty dining room. They finally visited us for the first time, saying there was a mistake while we watched multiple tables who arrived after us eat their meals and leave. Our appetizer (chips/guac) somehow came after our mains of tacos. When our order arrived, it was completely wrong - but we didn’t care because we quickly ate and left since the experience sucked so much. Bent is awesome, but this experience was not. Server didn’t even offer to comp our meals and didn’t even seem fazed that we waited an hour without any actual service. Wouldn’t recommend.

Was expecting more from reviews and word of mouth. The ceviche was NOT fresh, very fishy scallops but the server was great and offered me 2 more tacos free of charge. The tacos itself were great! There was a bachelor party which made the inside very loud and rowdy, kind of threw off the vibe. Overall great service though.

Lost a bit of its charm since the change in ownership. So Nice to still see the familiar faces that are left, but the patio vibe wasn’t as charming as it once was. Loud music, no outdoor bar no movie plating, no ambient table lighting, no bug protection. Really not the same I say!

I found Bent Taco to be far too loud at my age of 76 however; the younger set did not appear to mind at all. We ate inside and when the Bartender would shake his containers, I found this very annoying. Our food came and we had to ask for utensils. We felt the Waiter was very good and was extremely busy. I would only go back for lunch and never again for dinner. Karen

I had an incredible experience at Bent Taco! We were there to celebrate a birthday, and the birthday boy was treated amazingly by the staff. The nachos were simply amazing - loaded with delicious toppings and full of flavor. The staff was fantastic, providing attentive and friendly service throughout our visit. The tacos were wonderful, offering a wide variety of mouthwatering options. Additionally, I loved the fact that our dogs on the patio were treated with care and attention. Thank you, Bent Taco, for going above and beyond to make the celebration and our overall experience so memorable and enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

We visited Bent Taco as part of a Bachelorette weekend with a group of 4 of us. There we a lot of other tables seated around the same time as us and our appetizers were sent to the wrong table by the kitchen. Our waitress was quick to rectify this and had our appetizers covered on our bill! The food was DELICIOUS and worth our wait :)
